Re: A Good Idea, methinks

Excellent idea! Having just a few months ago having to solder in a replacement USB socket on my Akai MPK225, I never want to do it again if I can help it! :-)

Thanks!

Re: Expression/Articulation maps are coming to DP

Well, Steve armed me with enough valuable insight to permit me to finally morph over to the modular template approach myself. I've been trying to make that work, but my clippings kept messing up in the bundles end. Jim Cooper and others recommended to me in chat at the end of the webinar that I make...

Re: Ultralite MK3 Hybrid loose firewire connection

Bumping this. I'm very frustrated and angry about this as my original Ultralite with the older FW ports NEVER had connectivity issues. I cannot use my MK3 with the firewire as any slightest movement causes the connection to drop. I hit mine with Deoxit at both ends and in the ports about once a mon...

Re: AKAI controller Transport fixes for DP10!

Is it my imagination, or has DP 10 actually taken steps back in transport control? I could swear that MCU and HUI control was more complete in DP 9! I am certain that I used to have scrub (shuttle) functions under DP 9. I can't find any way to implement this in DP 10. I wrote MOTU about this and th...

Re: AKAI controller Transport fixes for DP10!

...until I figured out how to convert the CC messages from the Akai hardware to a note that has a note off message as well. In Windows, we have the free-for-home-use (postcard-ware) Bome MIDI Translator Classic . (€ 29 incl. VAT for professional use.) This is very valuable information, so thanks Mi...

Roland Cloud's new Zenology synth not working in DP??

Is it just me, or is it true that Roland Cloud's latest flagship synth, Zenology , is not working in DP? It is a VST3-only synth, and fails the test by DP. I would expect that, given the massive resources that Roland has, that this would be an exemplary example of VST3 programming, so I was very sur...

Latest Vienna Ensemble Pro Server version breaks MAS plugin

The latest VEP update 7.0.1048 breaks the MAS plugins for DP in Windows. Reinstalling the previous version (7.0.973) from the archived downloads section restored it, as did saving that version of the MAS .dll files and replacing the new ones from the updated version with the older versions. (The .dl...

Re: DP Approaches for handling orch articulations

8- When you instantiate the Clipping in a project, for some reason DP doesn't recognize my master audio out from the Clipping, (reported to DP in my case as Analog 1-8 1-2 ) so you stupidly have to select the output from the virtual instrument in the track and select... Analog 1-8 1-2. Play, Kontak...

Re: How to make clippings

I have gleaned a little more information concerning the differences between Global Clippings and Project Clippings. But first a housekeeping note: if you are doing a lot of track and folder moving/creating/copying, then switch off all your V-Rack instruments and any other instruments you have in you...

A very interesting addition by Michael Canavan: Using clippings to store "Drum Maps" that have NAMED key switches. Check that thread out!

Re: V-Racks, Aux Tracks, Pre-Gen, Clippings, VEP vs Local

The facts that routing thru Aux abolishes Pre Gen leads one to note that VCAs reduce the need for Aux Bussing for groups of tracks. It doesn't abolish PreGen, this might be new to DP10 I don't know? So a multi audio out like Kontakt can use multiple Aux tracks and still Pre Gen. What it does though...

Re: V-Racks, Aux Tracks, Pre-Gen, Clippings, VEP vs Local

Thanks HC and Micheal for the great input! I've barely touched my VCA's so far, but do plan to. I like the way they work with the track sends for shared reverbs especially. I would still send to a bus acting as input to an audio track over using an AUX for the reasons mentioned here and elsewhere in...
